Fun fact for the day: I have been keeping track of which D-Boys have worn dresses in dramas.
Usui is now on the list.
Yeah, EPIC CHOCOMIMI IS EPIC. HAPPY HAPPY DOESN'T BEGIN TO DESCRIBE IT.
So Choco and Mimi decide to gather everyone together for a study group. Where do they decide to have this study group? Takeda-sensei's house, of course. Do they decide to tell him first?
...Of course not.
This is Takeda-sensei's face upon realizing Mimi's at the door:
Take-chan, I feel for ya, I really do.
So he doesn't open the door, and what happens anyway?
SHE'S IN UR HOWSE... bringin' Mika-chin with her. Okay, ACCEPTABLE. (Takeda-sensei's scrambling for his wig, if you were wondering. No, not the pink one.)
Creepy Mimi is creepy, but I'm not ashamed to admit I took that screenshot just because I thought Mika-chin looked adorable.
Study study study. Okay, Mika-chin's shirt amuses me.
So I'm about 99% sure Choco and Mimi are going over
Kumo no Ito (woo, Kei actually gets cultural references this time around!), and Mimi and Mumu started fighting over something, I dunno. Choco for some reason decided that if they were all characters from Kumo no Ito (woo, hypothetical casting time; this may seem familiar if you've ever had a conversation with me EVER), Mimi would be the Buddha Shakyamuni. As a result, Mimi wants to know who would be Kandata, the sinner.
OH, ANDREW, BETRAYED. Poor baby, never saw it coming. (WTH, Choco, WTH.)
"So what about Mikami-kun?"
"Huh? Did somebody say my name?"
MONTAGE OF UBER-CUTENESS +1.
"I'm the spider?"
Choco then decides they need to act it out.
MY GOD CHOCO, IT'S FEBRUARY, PUT ON SOME DAMN PANTS.
Mimi as the Buddha, with Choco demonstrating how Andrew should pose. Yeah, uh, I think I died a little inside. (Although I can so see her all, "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?" but maybe that's just
capslock_bleach Shakespeare macro Thursday talking.)
"I'm not going to have to be Juliet, am I?" No baby, you can be Tybalt.
...Mika-chin will be Juliet. Mimi can be Rosaline OHBURN.
But Andrew decides to go along with it, and-- KSDGHLSDKHG TUMMY SHOT TUMMY SHOT.
...What, WHAT.
Cartoon version!
...Why do they look stoned. =\
...*CRIES* THAT WAS SOMETHING I COULD'VE GONE MY WHOLE LIFE WITHOUT SEEING.
And back in the real world...
.....................
Yes, that would be Mika-chin shaking his ass at Andrew, and Andrew... well, trying to grab his ass, more or less.
APPROPRIATE CHILDREN'S TELEVISION IN JAPAN, LET ME SHOW YOU IT.
OH MY GOD MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.
The night wears on, and...
"Take-chan, Take-chan, I don't want to go home~!"
"Me either, Sensei~!"
THEY WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT AT THEIR TEACHER'S HOUSE.
...AND HE LETS THEM.
WHAT THE HELL.
...SENSEI, YOU COULD DO SO MUCH BETTER.
Meanwhile...
Okay, so it's just Mika-chin rummaging through his backpack, but isn't he so cute? (And for some reason I really like his shoulders. IDEK.)
Andrew encounters Choco after she's put on her pyjamas! ...Is that her bra strap?
Yay, sparklers! (Is anyone else thinking of Nana? ...Just me?)
I'll be honest, I was just taking gratuitous screenshots because it was adorable.
Awwwww.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I PRESENT TO YOU, KING OF THE WOOBIES. X3
*cries* THEY'RE SO... SO... IDEK.
"LOL RUININ UR MOMENT."
OH, SO COCKBLOCK'D. That's gotta hurt.
D'awwwwwwww.
ENTER MIKA-CHIN.
OH GOD, I WANTED IT TO HAPPEN SO BADLY BUT I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT IS INDEED MIKA-CHIN IN A DRESS. PARDON ME, A NIGHTGOWN.
Oh god do want.
"Guys, what's so funny?"
AND THAT'S HOW THEY END IT. REALLY. REALLY REALLY. Just, hey! Mika-chin in negligee! BOOM, OVER, NEXT STORYLINE TIEM NAO.
God I love Japan.
"We're supposed to have band practice today. We're supposed to have band practice right now. You two are not taking the band very seriously."
Honestly, Choco scares me sometimes.
In swaggers Andrew, and, well... I just really like his swagger. >.>
Meanwhile, Mimi and Mumu are...
...Fighting over food.
"Right, well, it'd be nice if you two could stop being morons because CHOCO JUST LEFT. Why are all my friends idiots...?"
Enter Mimi's father, the most whipped man on the planet. "Uh, Mimi-chan, Choco left a note for you on the way out..."
Mimi looks like she wants to eat his soul, amirite?
"OMG CHOCO'S HANDWRITING MUST SEE." Told you he's a woobie. ♥
Remember the cartoon couple from the previous episode?
...Yeah.
They meet in the woods for... IDK, band training or something. Look, Mika-chin thinks he's L!
"Hey look, a swallowtail butterfly!" says Mumu.
...Oh, you have got to be kidding me.
They look around for the butterfly but can't find it and pretty much forget about it right away. Hurray for ADD?
"Hey, that reminds me!" Oh god, Mika-chin, could you be any cuter?
"I wrote a song!" He wrote a song, guys!
"Hey, this is pretty good. What's it called?"
"Rocket!"
...IT'S THE ENDING THEME, GUYS. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY.
They all go for a walk, but Mimi twists her ankle! Oh no! (I... may have laughed. You can't prove anything.)
So Mumu pushes her around in a cart. Um, okay.
And they see the-- yeah. That.
"AFTER THAT FUCKING BUTTERFLY!"
"NEARLY MOW DOWN THE ONLY GOOD CAST MEMBERS!"
"...Idiots on wheels?"
Uh. OT3?
In the end, the butterfly gets away. YEAH, NO KIDDING. GUYS IT'S A FREAKING BUTTERFLY.
Notice Mika-chin and Andrew in the background.
"So our friends are all morons, huh?"
"You seriously only just noticed?"
...And then the world flips upside down and smart characters are brought down to Mimi's level.
Keep in mind that the swallowtail butterfly is now pretty much a symbol of Mimi and Mumu's friendship/relationship, and thus tied to characters I don't like.
"lol hay guys let's call our band Ageha."
...OH, FUCK YOU, ANDREW. I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. SO MUCH. This show needs gay vampires.
OH MY GOD. SOMETIMES I HATE THIS SHOW.
THAT BUTTERFLY? "YOUR" BUTTERFLY? IT'S ANIMATED YOU MORONS. ARGH.
But y'know, I can't stay mad.
Not when they offer me an AndrewxMika-chin moment. (What, what. I'm allowed to tinhat.)
...From another angle. (Ignore the animated fail.)
You know, though, after my RAGE a quote from Corner Gas cheered me up. "Oh, it's not just you," Brent says to the a tax man. "Dad once got mad at a butterfly. Called it a 'sonofabitch' and told it to get out of his garden." Haha, you show that butterfly who's boss, Oscar.
I was thinking after the epicness of Mika-chin in a dress I would have nothing to look forward to for the rest of the series. Well, the preview for the next episode proved me wrong.
Oh man, nice apron, Mika-chin. No really, that's a sweet apron. (And he's sharing a little kitchen station with Jin! How cute!)
OH MY GOD NICE KERCHIEF, ANDREW. NICE PONYTAIL. ACE. Mmmmm, ponytail... *drools a bit* It doesn't take much to make me happy, really.
I CAN HAZ NEXT EPISODE NAO? PRITTY PREASE? OH GOD WHAT AM I GOING TO BE LIKE WHEN THIS STUPID SHOW ENDS. D=
